deleted messages
how can i retrieve deleted text messages
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13
If you were syncing Messages with iCloud and deleted them, they can't be recovered. If you weren't syncing Messages with iCloud, do you have a backup you can restore from? Restoring from a backup erases all data currently on your device. Any data newer than when the backup was made will be erased. A restore is an all or nothing restore. You can't access a backup and only restore certain files.
Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
You can also check your carrier's web site to see if the texts are there.
